The references os himself were just pathetic


Joseph Kahn is a very egocentric man, using his own work to make references like the movie Torque or video-clips he made (Pussycat dolls or Backstreet boys)... VERY sad
And this movie has no sense at all!

Either you are an unfunny troll or a dumb ass.
The references to his career were jokes. Get off his nuts.

When a director makes a reference of his OWN work is very egocentric.
This movie sucks anyway

reply

Um, he insulted his own movie. That's far from egocentric if you ask me.

reply

It doesn't matter, it's his OWN work. At the beggining of the movie some character said something like "... so stupid like that movie Torque".
Now I'm asing: Has ANYOBODY in the WORLD heard about that movie??? (I'm talking about normal people, not movie fans)... nobody heard about that movie! That movie did terrible on theatres and critics.
It's different a very famous BAD movie (like Catwoman or Battlefild Earth) from a VERY bad and unknow movie (like Torque)
It would be totally different if the character said: "... so stupid like that movie Battlefield Earth"

This movie was funny and had some pretty clever moments. Also yes people have heard of that movie, stop making stupid assumptions. If you don't like it fine, but you sound like an idiot at the moment.

I don't even know who the hell Joseph Kahn is, I just think you're a moron. Because only a moron would think that people not agreeing with him is due to liking the director.

I just think you're an idiot, the director has nothing to do with it.

Cavalier take yo raggedy as outta here gurrrrrrlll. You acting like you're Brett Ratner or Hype William's baby mama who relies on him to keep making the coins for your child support.

Actually, "Torque" has gained some cult status. And...this movie reference "Hotel For Dogs", "The Smurfs", Frank Whaley, and "Freejack". Those/He aren't exactly classics either, so quit your bitching.

"Actually, "Torque" has gained some cult status..."
REALLY???
Please tell me more

reply

Nobody heard of it...? I own Torque on friggin' DVD! DVD!!

Also, after all that Fast & Furious craze back then that attempt of recreating the same thing for bikers was pretty high profile. You'd have to have lived under a rock to not have heard of Torque back then.
